Abstract (en)

An absorbent article is worn by a wearer to absorb and retain body fluids of the wearer. The absorbent body has a surface side sheet, a back face side sheet, and an absorbent body. The absorbent body has an intermediate sheet, a first absorbent body group, a second absorbent body group, and a stretchable member having stretchability to shrink the intermediate sheet, first absorbent body group, and second absorbent body group in a transverse direction. Each of the absorbent body groups has a plurality of strip-shaped absorbent bodies that extend in alongitudinaldirection. The strip-shaped absorbent bodies are disposed at predetermined intervals. With the present invention, since the stretchable member shrinks to narrow the width of the absorbent article, the absorbent article can be fitted closely to a wearer to maintain comfort of the wearer, and the absorbing ability of each absorbent body group can be maintained. <IMAGE>
